Abstract
The issue of defense strategy for cooperative control in multi-agent systems under false data injection attacks is investigated in this paper. False data injection attacks are typical cyber-attacks, some of which can evade detection and result in system instability. A communication strategy is proposed to ensure the security of multi-agent systems. In the proposed defense strategy, each agent is assigned to transmit its state to its neighbours and extra communication edges are stochastically triggered by the designed trigger signals. Furthermore, the communication topology condition is derived to ensure the security of multi-agent systems under the defense strategy. The theoretical results are verified through numerical simulation.
